My article on "7 Things I've Learned So Far" about writing appears today at Writer's Digest. If you sign up to comment, you are entered for a free hardback copy of my most recent book, A FATAL WINTER.

A reader sent me this wonderful photo of her cat Suzanna clutching a library copy of the St. Just mystery Death at the Alma Mater. Don't you love the possessive, combative look in her eyes?

Terry Jacobsen of Library Journal has just published her verdict, giving A FATAL WINTER a starred review: "Malliet doesn't miss a step in her stellar second case for her handsome vicar....This series shines for its wit, well-drawn characters, pitch-perfect dialog, and intricately structured puzzle."
